Bills on the House floor for Jan 26

Here are the bills on the House floors for Jan 26, which begins at 2:00 PM central. Since the House is starting to get a lot more bills hitting the floor I am doing the House & Senate in separate posts going forward. I apologize for being late with this post, I had my first time dealing with bed bugs as a landlord today….

The only bill on the House side I am curious to watch the debate for is actually HCR 1001. I want to see if the floor debates the need for this…

House

Motions & Resolutions

HCR 1001 – SoDakLiberty Posts – Recognizing the difference between the taxes and fees levied by the State of South Dakota. This was deferred from Jan 23, leadership must have decided they didn’t’ want to debate this on a Friday.

HB 1021 – SoDakLiberty Posts – Repeal the authorization for the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology research center project and to authorize the South Dakota Building Authority to issue bonds to finance a portion of the maintenance and repair of the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology chemistry/chemical engineering renovation project.

HB 1022 – SoDakLiberty Posts – Authorize the Board of Regents to purchase improved property in Spearfish and to make an appropriation therefor.

HB 1042 – SoDakLiberty Posts – Authorize the Department of Public Safety to construct offices in Butte County and Roberts County, to make an appropriation therefor, and to declare an emergency.

HB 1060 – SoDakLiberty Posts – Make an appropriation to reimburse certain family physicians, dentists, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners who have complied with the requirements of the recruitment assistance program and to declare an emergency.

SB 28 – SoDakLiberty Posts – Authorize the Board of Regents to sell certain extraneous real property to the City of Brookings, to deposit the proceeds in the school and public lands trust for the benefit of South Dakota State University, and to declare an emergency. This bill has been fast-tracked to allow the City of Brookings to build a new shop. It was actually scheduled to be taken up on the House floor on Jan 23. However it was deferred until Jan 26 (legislators love getting out early on Friday, can’t really blame them).
